Apple's new WWDC app could be our first glimpse at the future of iOS, ahead of the expected unveiling of iOS 7 at the conference's opening keynote on 10 June.

Apple on Monday released its WWDC 2013 companion app, providing attendees with maps and schedules for the conference, developers unable to attend the event with daily videos from the event, and everyone else with the latest news. The app sports a flatter, more minimalist design than previous years – a style expected to be on its way for the entire iOS user interface with iOS 7.

In addition, the app's icon is also flat. Most of Apple's previous App icons feature a gradient or shine, or another skeuomorphic element like a wood effect (in the Newsstand app, for example) or stitching (Find My Friends).
